Asylum Case Exemplifies Executive Branch Overreach

Partner Steven Gordon wrote an article for Law360 on the new asylum policy that the Trump Administration wants to pass which has been blocked by several immigrants' rights groups. The article details the proposed asylum policy and its appellate process which the U.S. Court of Appeal for the Ninth Circuit has concluded the new regulation conflicts with the asylum statute. Mr. Gordon discusses that the case shows an overreach by the executive branch, not the judicial branch.
